The Crystal Maiden

The Crystal Maiden

The name Actun Tunichil Muknal translates as "Cave of the Crystal Sepulchre," and the locals know it as "Xibalba": after the Mayan underworld. The Crystal Cave was traditionally believed to be an entrance to hell, a deep fissure in the earth filled with rivers of blood and scorpions. This was the domain of the Mayan death gods, the subterranean court of the "Lords of Xibalba." Often referred to as demons, these twelve deities had names like "Stabbing Demon" and "Skull Staff," and inflicted a range of maladies on people including sickness, pain, and fear.
